Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup Mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1 piece Banana (ripe)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water, if using fresh fruit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the banana and slice it into chunks for easier blending.
If the mango isn't pre-chopped, peel it and cut it into cubes, discarding the pit.
In a high-speed blender, combine mixed berries, mango chunks, banana, orange juice, honey or maple syrup (if using), and lemon juice.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Pour the blended fruit mixture evenly into popsicle molds, ice cube trays, or a shallow freezer-safe container.
Insert popsicle sticks if using molds or ice cube trays. If a shallow container is used, cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
Once frozen, remove popsicles from the molds by running the mold under warm water to loosen them, or scoop servings from the shallow container like a sorbet.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Fruit Freeze!
